A MOVIE cafe used the Force to help in the fight against cancer.
Flix Movie Cafe held a Star Wars day with colourful movie characters visiting the eaterie in Church Square, Hartlepool.
Darth Vader, Jedi Knights and Chewbacca helped raise £77.29 for The Christie, one of Europe's leading cancer centres.
Adam Bouabda, owner of the cafe, said: "The event was great and they managed to raise a fair bit of money.
"It is something I would definitely do again and I've already been told about groups like Doctor Who fans who do similar things."
The costumed characters were members of the 99th Imperial Garrison, a group of Star Wars fans who make replica outfits that would not look out of place on a film set.
Hartlepool man Nigel Jukes, a member of the 99th Imperial Garrison, said: "It was a really good day and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
"We went into the town centre and we got a bit mobbed there. It was great."
The group are now set to visit the MetroCentre, in Gateshead, on Saturday.
They will be raising money for Help for Heroes from 11am to 3pm.
